Damn this is sad; I went on a drive to Lake Ray Hubbard about an hour from here earlier today. I was coming back and going over this long bridge over the lake. There was a dog walking down the center shoulder of the bridge. I seen it and immediately called 911 and told them about it. Evidently the 911 operator already knew about it and already dispatched someone. I made a U turn and came back again. Yep the dog was still there. I pulled up in front of him and stopped. I opened my door, cars whizzing by on the bridge. The dog stopped when he seen me and started going the other way. The cop showed up further behind me and we boxed him in. The dog turned around and started back towards me I opened my door hoping he would come up and jump in my car. He instead made a break for it across the 3 busy lanes of traffic on the bridge. Damn that was sad seeing him lying in the lane bleeding from the nose and yelping. The cop said "Damn I knew he would do that" The dog was hit pretty badly, somehow he managed to get back up. I tried to coax him to me. He started to come to me slowly and limped away down the inside shoulder. The cop said I have to follow him he got back in his car and followed him on the shoulder. I do not know if I screwed up by boxing him in like that. Even though I did not think he would make a break for it into traffic. I am not sure If I should try to contact the Police Department to see if they got him I may end up adopting a dog that I do not need right now. I guess moral of the story is watch your dogs. I am sure you don't ever want to see what I seen todayÂ…..Damn sad day.
